Just days after its initial release, Griffin Technology has updated their monitor resolution enhancement too, Super Res, to version 1.1. Super Res allows users to set monitors to have higher resolutions and refresh rates than would normally be available from the Apple Monitors control panel. According to Griffin:

Griffin Technology, Inc. today annouced they have released an update to
Super Res, a free universal video resolution enabler for the Mac. Version
1.1 of Super Res allows for cycling through available video resolution
during startup by holding down a keystroke. With Super Res, users have
access to a wider range of video resolutions and refresh rates than may
be available with the built in Monitors control panel. It allows users to
fine tune their video settings for applications that require specific
resolutions or to improve preformance of their systems by allowing higher
resolutions or refresh rates.

Super Res has both a Control Panel and a Control Strip component that
allows one to choose from nearly 50 different video resolutions on the
built in video of current Macs. Super Res enables a much larger range of
video resolutions than are normally available. It works with all Macs
since the PowerMac 7200 including G3s, G4s, PowerBooks, iMacs, and G4
Cubes.

Super Res is not only free but extremely powerful. It allows one to
select resolutions of up to 1920x1440. It also allows the selection of
bit depth. It is compatible with the built in video of all Macs as well
as most third party video cards. With Super Res you can now access ALL
video resolutions supported by your video card or built in video not just
the ones limited by your display.

Super Res is available for free. You can find more information at the Griffin Technology web site.
